elisi: Edwin holding a tiny snowman (Smile Fan by buttersideup)
In general - I liked it. It’s early days, but since I was thoroughly spoiled I had no expectations of it being more or less than it was. And in one aspect I was pleasantly surprised...

That said, it didn’t ‘feel’ like the show - it felt like fanfic. This might be because I’ve read so much post-Chosen/NFA fanfic that this quite simply slots in as just another scenario. Sure it’s nice as a writer to get some ‘guidelines’ if set-up isn’t your cup of tea, but... I’ve read better. Maybe Joss will do something interesting with it - who knows?

Anyway, more specific thoughts under cut.

Incidentally, my perfect post-Chosen/NFA outcome is this: So This is How They Are by [livejournal.com profile] stultiloquentia (Do check it out, it’s not very long!). It might be compatible with the comics (more or less), and if so I’ll be very pleased. If not - well so be it. *I* know that that’s how the story goes! :)

ETA: Anyone out there who hasn't read the comic, but who'd like to? I might know a way...
